The women start running, but one of them stumbles and falls and the second woman turns to help. At the last second, they both lie flat on the tracks as the train rolls over them and somehow survive. Authorities said they ran to a car parked nearby and sped off.

A video of the women's brush with death was released this week by the Indiana Rail Road Co., along with a warning about the consequences of people trespassing on its tracks.

"Not only did two trespassers narrowly escape a horrible death, but had the heavy train derailed due to the emergency brake application – which isn't uncommon – it could have taken down the bridge, possibly killing the engineer as well," said company President Tom Hoback.

"The human, environmental and financial toll would have been enormous," he added.

The incident happened on July 10 as the women were walking across the Shuffle Creek Trestle over Lake Lemon, about 7 1/2 miles from Bloomington.

The engineer told authorities he was rounding a curve at 30 mph when he spotted the women and pulled the emergency brakes, but the 14,000-ton freight train continued to gain on the women as they started running.

One of the women, running in the center, fell flat on her face. The other woman, running on the left side, stopped and turned and also flattened herself against the tracks as the train rolled over.

When the train finally stopped, the cars had already passed the spot where the women were, authorities said.

The engineer assumed they had been killed and contacted the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department. But officials later learned that they had survived and drove away.

Police said Wednesday they know who the women are but have not located them yet. They are both in their 30s, and one lives in Indiana and the other out of state, according to the Monroe County, Ind. sheriff’s office.

Both face possible misdemeanor trespassing charges, a spokesman for the office said.
